Antonio Guterres, SSecretary General of the HIMexplained this Wednesday that the world is entering an “age of chaos” and warned governments that inattention to this problem could generate greater division.
“There are governments that ignore and undermine the very principles of multilateralism, without being held accountable at all. “The Security Council, the main tool for world peace, is deadlocked due to geopolitical fissures.”Guterres explained.
The UN Secretary General pointed out that the issue is not new, “The current dysfunction is deeper and more dangerous,” he warned.
About solutions, He recalled that in the midst of the Cold War, mechanisms were established that “helped manage relations between the superpowers”; However, he regretted that in “current multipolar world, such mechanisms do not exist. “Our world has entered an era of chaos.”
The result of this is clear, Guterres detailed: “A dangerous and unpredictable pitched battle with total impunity.”
during his speech warned about the development of nuclear weaponsas well as “new ways to kill each other and for humanity to annihilate itself.”

**Interview with Dr. Maria Lopez, Political Analyst on Guterres’ Warning of a Chaos Era**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Lopez. Recently, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that the world is entering an ”era of chaos.” What do you think prompted this alarming assertion?
**Dr. Lopez:** Thank you for having me. Guterres’ remark reflects a culmination of ongoing global crises, including geopolitical tensions, climate change, and social unrest. The complex interconnectivity of these issues creates an environment that is increasingly unpredictable and volatile.
**Editor:** You mentioned geopolitical tensions. Can you elaborate on how they contribute to this chaos?
**Dr. Lopez:** Absolutely. The rise of nationalism in various countries, combined with conflicts in regions like Ukraine and the Middle East, has strained international relations. Nations are more inclined to put their interests first, which undermines global cooperation. Guterres fears that without concerted efforts, this could lead to larger conflicts.
**Editor:** Climate change is another factor he highlighted. What role does it play in this potential chaos?
**Dr. Lopez:** Climate change exacerbates existing vulnerabilities. As natural disasters become more frequent and severe, they create humanitarian crises, refugee situations, and food insecurity. These challenges can lead to civil unrest in affected areas, further destabilizing regions and complicating international responses.
**Editor:** Given this situation, what steps can global leaders take to address these challenges and potentially avert this ‘era of chaos’?
**Dr. Lopez:** It requires a multifaceted approach. First, countries need to prioritize diplomacy over conflict, fostering discussions that can lead to peaceful resolutions. Secondly, we need to unite in tackling climate change through policies that promote sustainability and resilience. enhancing social welfare programs can address grassroots issues that fuel discontent and unrest.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Lopez, for your insights. It’s clear that collaboration and proactive measures are essential in these challenging times.
**Dr. Lopez:** Thank you for having me. It’s crucial that we stay informed and engaged in these discussions. The future of our world depends on it.
